OF the Supposed Train Robbers-Four In

OF the Supposed Train Robbers-Four In
jail Here.
Deputy United States Marshal W. j.
Bell, arrested yesterday and brought
into San Antonio, four prisoners, Alb.
and jim Ussery and John and Cheed
Craft, and placed them In the county
jail on the charges OF train robbery, In
the matter OF the train robbery near
Austin last week.
A LIGHT reporter obtained the par
ticulars OF the arrest today from
Deputy Bell, who, however,
In the hope OF catching eight
more men whom he believes was con-
eerned In the robbery, refuses to say but
little.
He said the sheriff OF Williamson
county, John Olive, captured two men
Saturday last near Taylor, and they are
now In Jail at Austin charged with the
robbery Of the train. Bell arrested these
four men four miles from Luling on the
San Marcos river, with the assistance Of
Deputy U. ). Marshal Bailey and Ed
Van Ripper. The Craft boys live near
that part Of Caldwell county on a
farm with their father, and the
Ussery boys live near the Crafts. The
officers arrested the Crafts at their
fathers house, and the Usserys were
riding on the road when caught. All
claim to be quiet, peaceable citizens, OF
course. but Bell thinks he has the right
ones concerned In the robbery and says
these men bear pretty shady reputa-
tiOns. They claim they can establish an
alibi, but that Is all they say. They re-
fuse 10 talk and Bell refuses to allow re-
porters to interview them.

IN ANOTHER CHARACTER.

w. o. Langdon, Late of San Anton o, is
Heard of as Dr. Langdon in
Houston.
Many citizens of San Antonio will re-
member W. o. LangdOn, who was at
one time partner in the commission firm
Of Greenlsy, LangdOn & Co., which
"went up" in financial crisis some time
ago, and there were then some ugly
rumors abroad that were by no means
complimentary to LangdOn, but whether
they were just or not is quite another
question. Greenlay remained here. and
is now engaged as railroad supply
agent, doing we'll and meriting the good
opinion of the people, but LangdOn,
who WAS q sanctimoniOus church mem
Der, disappeared. A peculiar case that
has transpired shows that w. o. Lang
don is posing as full-fledged doctor in
Houston. How and by what means Lang
don obtained his medical hOnors is
not clear, but the case that brings. him
before the public is remarkable one.
He was treating a girl named Annie
Washington, who was, according to &C.
counts, a fiDe, strong healthy girl. An
operation was performed upon her and
the girl died. DIR. Langdon says that in
the operation he, and associates. re-
moved three tumors and fetus. or
the fetus there is no question, but the
statement is made that the tumors were
mythical. The Houston Herald openly
accuses DIR. LangdOn Of malpractice, and
infers the life Of the girl was thereby
sacrificed. Ii also gives good grounds
for the assertion. Here the matter rests
ut present, but it is said that more de-
velopments of the case will shortly he
made.
